IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
General
P
ower Tool Safety
Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the warnings refers to your
battery‑operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work Area Safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or
fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions
can
cause you to lose
control.

Item 61424
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Electrical Safety
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
P
ersonal Safety
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do
not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A
moment
of
inattention
while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
2.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always
wear eye protection.
Safety
equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3.
P
revent unintentional starting.
Ensure
the
Trigger is in the off
-
position
before connecting to power
source,
picking up or carrying
the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the Trigger or energizing power tools that
have the Trigger on invites accidents.
4.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power
tool
on.
A
wrench
or
a
key
left
attached to
a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving
parts.
7.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of these devices
can reduce dust
-
related
hazards.
8.
Only use safety equipment
that has been approved by an
appropriate
standards
agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may
not provide adequate protection.
Eye
protection
must
be ANSI‑approved
and breathing protection must be
NIOSH‑approved for the specific
hazards in the work area.
P
ower Tool Use and
C
are
1.
Do not force the power tool.
Use
the correct power tool for your
application.
The
correct
power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the Trigger
does not turn it on and off.
Any
power
tool
that
cannot be
controlled with the Trigger is
dangerous and must be
repaired.
3.
Disconnect the
battery pack from
the power tool
before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
Such
preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool
accidentally.
4.
Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the
power tool.
Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained
users.

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
5.
Maintain power tools.
C
heck for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and
C
are
1.
Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A
charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use
of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid
ma
y be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If
contact accidentally
occurs, flush
with
water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Impact Driver
Safety Warnings
1.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a
″live″ wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
2.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If
unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
3.
Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before
turning on the tool.
4.
Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
5.
When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.
6.
Do not leave the tool unattended when
the
Battery Pack is connected
. Turn off the tool,
and
remove the Battery Pack
before leaving.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
7.
The battery Charger gets hot
during use. The Charger’s heat
can build up to unsafe levels and
create a fire hazard if it does not
receive adequate ventilation, due to an
electrical fault, or if it is used in a
hot
environment.
Do not place the Charger on a flammable
surface. Do
not obstruct any vents on the
Charger.
Especially
avoid placing the
C
harger on carpets and rugs; they are not
only flammable, but they also obstruct
vents under the
C
harger.
Place the Charger on a stable, solid,
nonflammable surface (such as a stable
metal workbench or concrete floor) at least
1
foot away from all flammable objects, such
as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher
and a smoke detector in the area. Frequently
monitor the Charger and
Battery
Pack
while
charging.
8.
This product is not a toy.
Keep
it
out
of
reach of
children.
9.
People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to
heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure.

11.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but
must be supplied by the
operator.
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated
or
long
-
term
exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should
not
use
this
tool.
If
you
feel
any
symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as
possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4.
Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a
choice.
5.
Include vibration-free periods
each day of work.
6.
Grip tool as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control
of
it).
Let the tool do the work.
7.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If
any
abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
SAVE THESE INSTRU
C
TIONS.
